The problem is soccer moms who absolutely insist that their kid needs an antibiotic no matter how much you tell her its a virus and antibiotics are futile.
I must bring up a few points I feel are important. First, I see no reason to complain because so far all of the Q3tests have been just that, compatibility tests. To check compatibility and make sure that the game works on all computers and video cards. I see the gathering of this information as a good move and in no way an invasion of privacy. We are able to try out a game months in advance for free, and we complain about something as insignificant as this. Maybe its just me, but i have no problem providing such information about my video card or my system because this information is useless to everyone besides id and its being used for a good purpose.
